MICROMO Announces the Next Generation of Motion Controllers - V3.0
The new FAULHABER MC3/MCS Controller Family
MICROMO launches the new MC3/MCS motion control family - an extensive and versatile basis
FAULHABER motor technologies, offer electronics for simple operation with state-of-the-art
interfaces for multi-axis applications and provide a motion control system solution with the most
compact integration into industrial grade housing.
The FAULHABER Motion Controllers V3.0 are high performance, intelligent, networked drives
optimized for both OEM and automation applications. These high bandwidth controllers feature
100 microsecond sample time for velocity, position and current feedback.
• Industry standard network and control interfaces (Ethernet fieldbus technology, USB,
network communication protocols, CANopen and RS-232)
• Robust power stage with extensive transient suppression and thermal protection (up to 10 A
continuous and 30 A peak)
• Maximum performance and precision from all FAULHABER coreless DC motors, brushless DC motors and linear DC servo motors (and
high power match up with a wide range of other motors up to 300 W on the market)
• New FAULHABER Motion Manager 6 setup wizard provides simplified use of FAULHABER products
• Decentralized intelligence provides the ability to save program sequences (up to eight programs can be used over all interface
technologies…Ethernet fieldbus technology, USB, network communication protocols CANopen and RS-232).
• Users program these movements in BASIC with Motion Manager 6 in a single axis and create additional programs in network
installations.
Three device variants cover different application areas. The Motion Controller MC 5005 and MC 5010 with housing and plug connectors
are designed for use in switch cabinets or in devices. Motion control systems, such as servo motors with integrated Motion Controllers, are
already pre-configured and make it possible for use directly in the automation environment. An intelligent module system makes it possible
to integrate diverse brushless and brush-commutated DC servo motors into standardized housing. The MC 5004 motion controller is
designed for use in existing housing as an open plug-in card. An optionally available motherboard makes it easy to get started in multi-axis
applications. All three versions use the same technology basis and offer the same interface options as well as the same operating principle
and functionality.
Unrivaled Performance and Flexibility
• Multiple velocity and position feedback options (7 options).
• Digital I/O and analog inputs
• Controller/subordinate and stand- alone operations available
• Modular design with three performance classes
• Available as plug-in card version
• Optional motherboard as development environment
• With Ethernet fieldbus technology interface for multi-axis applications
• Extensive protective and diagnostic functions, status LEDs
• Expanded supply range with separate electronics supply
• Improved current measurement

ST Robotics Develops the Workspace Sentry for Collaborative Robotics
The ST Robotics Workspace Sentry robot and area safety system are based on a small module that sends an infrared beam across the workspace. If the user puts his hand (or any other object) in the workspace, the robot stops using programmable emergency deceleration. Each module has three beams at different angles and the distance a beam reaches is adjustable. Two or more modules can be daisy chained to watch a wider area. "A robot that is tuned to stop on impact may not be safe. Robots where the trip torque can be set at low thresholds are too slow for any practical industrial application. The best system is where the work area has proximity detectors so the robot stops before impact and that is the approach ST Robotics has taken," states President and CEO of ST Robotics David Sands.
